End the Electoral College

One of the most basic principles of democracy is that the candidate who gets the most votes wins. Except, of course, when it comes to the President of the United States.

Five U.S. Presidents have been elected while losing the popular vote – thanks to the current undemocratic Electoral College system. And because of population shifts in recent decades, it’s a virtual certainty that it will happen again.

But we have a tremendous opportunity to take a big step toward ending the broken Electoral College system through the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

The National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is a legal agreement among the states to award their electoral votes to the winner of the national popular vote. Once enough states join the compact to add up to 270 electoral votes, the current Electoral College system gets sent to the dustbin of history.
